W. W. W. dot IV Press.com. Tom. Hello truth table listeners this is Christina Edmondson one of the co-host of Trues Table and it's time for us to do one of our

Truce Table classrooms and I'm up. In 2019 I had the opportunity to speak at a

conference called Just Gospel that meant in Atlanta, Georgia. The theme for that conference was,

Reconcil us, O Lord.

And I was asked, and actually I was going to be doing,

I think, a panel discussion or a conversation and the dear person who I was going to be in a conversation with was not able to make it.

And so I was asked if I would just do a teaching. And so now you get to experience that teaching that I provided for that audience of

conference attendees back in 2019. The topic was polarization and that's obviously a word that at this point we probably all should have familiarity with.

So I hope that it blesses you. Remember whenever we give a teacher, whenever we present a classroom, it is within the context of the needs of that audience as well as what's happening socially, politically,

within the community of the church at the time that situates our talk and our

words. So I hope that it's a blessing to you.

And I hope that this episode finds you in good health

and feeling loved and known by God.

You all almost saw me just crawl right up on this platform. He was like dignity, dignity.

Because I will just jump right up on here.

Don't let the appearance fool you.

I'm pretty down home.

Good morning to you.

Good morning. Good morning. I was looking forward to having a conversation with my sister Trilia this morning and

Due to circumstances outside of our control that didn't take place.
